What Color?
Looking for a cool color design for the upper fairing. My idea is just a coat of red like the tail, but that's just boring.

Re: What Color?
George,
You have no idea how bad I wanted the '96 paint scheme of my old FZR.

Im not much of a painter and its going to be a rattle can job. I painted it already and its nothing special. I'll post pics up tomorrow morning.

Re: What Color?
Well, that kind of painting it's a trouble, but it's something i can make it quite easy. It's too bad i'm far away from you slayer. I could helped you a lot! But just to know, much of the paintwork it's stickers (like the fzr logo). You have to do a lot of work, but it's worthin. Also one of my favorite paintworksslayermd wrote:George,

Re: What Color?
Why paint it when all the decals that come with new speed parts work just as good?

That I could ride for weeks before it looked "soiled" and once washed looked amazing
Re: What Color?
